a little history about Mr. Mussina (drop in pay? Like a regular guy at the office, a DROP in pay USUALLY means the guy says " hmmm. Fuck all this BS." I'll keep this job, but I won't give my all, just enough to keep my Pay".
You never know = but, you can imagine, in your mind, what someone could be thinking. What's his record now ???
2007 New York Yankees $ 11,070,423 (8 million dollar DROP in pay)
2006 New York Yankees $ 19,000,000
2005 New York Yankees $ 19,000,000
2004 New York Yankees $ 16,000,000
2003 New York Yankees $ 12,000,000
2002 New York Yankees $ 11,000,000
Always look for the financial reasoning = usually, it holds the answer.
